What type of engine oil is suitable for Lavida?
1 Answers
The Lavida 1.6 is suitable for using mineral oil of grade SJ or above with a viscosity of 5W40, while the Lavida 1.4T requires semi-synthetic oil of grade SL or above with a viscosity of 5W40, with a filling capacity of 4L. Different engine displacements may have different recommended oil grades as specified in the manual. Factors to consider when choosing engine oil: The selection depends on factors such as the vehicle model and engine. The basic choice of oil grade should be based on the vehicle model. When purchasing engine oil, consult the relevant customer service or auto repair shop. The choice of oil can also be based on the engine's requirements. It is unnecessary to use overly advanced oil in engines with lower requirements, nor should lower-grade oil be used in engines with higher requirements. If the engine is in good condition and the seasonal temperature is low, it is advisable to use oil with lower viscosity to ensure smooth oil flow. In high-temperature seasons or when the engine is severely worn, using higher-viscosity oil helps form an oil film and reduces engine wear. Adding engine oil: Different types of engine oil should not be mixed. If switching from high-grade oil to regular oil, first drain the existing oil completely and clean the lubrication system thoroughly to avoid mixing. The amount of oil added should be slightly below the maximum mark on the dipstick and not overfilled. Overfilling can have adverse effects: excessive oil increases the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reduces engine output power, and may cause the oil to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion.
